The historical Colonial Hotel built in 1914 is still standing and welcoming guest. With only a one star rating I really can't recommend staying there...Oh, not due to the really low rating but because the Colonial Hotel is in the top 10 haunted hotels in Texas.. Thanks, but no Thanks.. Was an interestion shoot though.
